The British School Caracas was founded in 1950. We have slowly expanded over the years and are looking for inspirational teachers to join the team. We have 170 students in the Primary Section and 120 students in the Secondary Section. Our curriculum in the Secondary Section follows the English National Curriculum in Years 7-9, IGCSE in Years 10-11 and the IB Diploma programme in Years 12-13.

The Secondary Section is an exciting place to work! We are looking at increasing numbers in the next few years. If you would like to be part of these exciting times, we look forward to receiving your application. Our teachers are flexible, enthusiastic, motivated, excellent communicators and always willing to go the extra mile. We are committed to educating the whole child and are not simply a results factory.

We are looking for an inspirational, dynamic and forward-thinking Head of Secondary, with sound knowledge of the English National Curriculum, IGCSE and/or IB Diploma Programme. A minimum of five years’ teaching experience is required and two years in middle management. In return, he/she will receive a flight to and from the place of hire at the beginning and at the end of their contracts, a furnished apartment, club membership and health insurance. A generous salary is offered.

We are committed to Continuous Professional Development for all our staff and place great importance in recruiting staff who ‘fit’ into our team.
